When I saw this note, I felt cold in my neck, and there were indeed people around here, not only sneaking into the tent to kill Lao Wang, but also putting a note in my backpack.

The handwriting on the note was very sloppy, and if I only read it literally, it seemed to comfort me.

If people are dead, it's not necessarily a bad thing, so what is a bad thing?

I didn't say anything, crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it in my pocket, and came out again with a cigarette. Zhang Momo and Ning Xiaomei were in a bad mood, Xiaomao was next to them, this time no matter what, the internal cause could be ruled out, and the three of them would not have problems, they were all reliable.

I had been pondering the words on the note, and I took the time to call Xiao Mao aside and tell him what happened.

"If that's the case, I think it's ......" Xiao Mao looked at the note and said, "I don't think there's any need to take precautions." ”

I know what Xiao Mao means, the person who killed Lao Wang is quite agile and quick. He has the ability to put a note in his backpack unconsciously, and he has the ability to quietly run to my back and stab me. We couldn't guard against it when there were too many of us, let alone four of us now.

"Then let's move on."

"Okay." Xiao Mao patted me on the shoulder and said, "I won't be like Zheng Wei and them." ”

I looked at Xiao Mao, and I was indescribably moved, Xiao Mao followed our team and took the same risks as us, but there were no benefits and benefits. I secretly decided that after going to Ta'er Lake this time, no matter how difficult it is and no one is available, I will resolutely not let Xiaomao participate in our actions. He's ready to open a small restaurant and start a new life, and I have to bless him in my own way.

I went to talk to Zhang Momo again, and Zhang Momo was not only sad, but also annoyed. Her temper is actually very stubborn, she was not afraid of Lao Wang's death, I said that I planned to continue walking, Zhang Momo did not object.

Lao Wang's corpse can't be taken away, only I know in my heart that if his corpse stays, then he still has the possibility of coming back to life. So, Xiao Mao and I carried Lao Wang to the empty room next to the tent.

"Let's put Lao Wang ...... Leave Lao Wang behind? Ning Xiaomei's eyes were red from crying, she was simple and soft-hearted, even if Lao Wang died, she couldn't bear to leave Lao Wang here.

Zhang Momo persuaded for a while, and Ning Xiaomei stopped talking. Xiao Mao and I tidied up our things, Zheng Wei and they left, our car was stuffed with a lot of things, it seemed very crowded, I drove one, Zhang Momo drove one, and left here.

It's still dark, and the four fields are silent, and if there are vehicles tailgating now, you can definitely find it. drove until dawn, and under the guidance of Xiao Mao, he kept heading in the direction of Ta'er Lake.

Nothing happened in the middle, and the walk went relatively smoothly, and in the afternoon, Xiao Mao told me that he had approached Ta'er Lake. The area of Lake Ta'er is actually quite large, but it has dried up all year round, and the extent of the lake itself is difficult to identify. Sometimes, the amount of water in Ta'er Lake can be maintained for a year or two, which is enough to form an oasis, and there must have been a concentration of people around the lake, but in recent years, the situation of Ta'er Lake has become more and more unstable, and it is impossible to have a permanent population.

Xiao Mao still remembered the last time they stopped, when the car had not yet driven to the real destination, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected a sparkling water. Close to the lakeside, all kinds of unknown plants and trees have become tender green, in any case, in such a barren place to see the water, see the green, still make people feel refreshed.

This time, the storage capacity of Ta'er Lake is more than the last time Xiao Mao came, and the lake is at least twice as large.

"Too much water, and it's not good." Xiao Mao said: "The underwater situation is not easy to judge, but fortunately, there are still things here last time, which can come in handy." ”

Xiao Mao took us to the place where we buried things first, and I always felt that after Lu Fangding returned from Ta'er Lake last time in vain, he probably wanted to carry out follow-up actions, so he hid a lot of things that could be used here.

The two of us dug for a while and dug out two boxes of compressed dry rations for the military, both of which were packaged in tin boxes, and they are definitely still edible now. There are a lot of other messes, and the most important thing is that there are three sets of scuba. This kind of scuba produced by hairy is an old object from decades ago, and a whole set is the same as a bear, but with this thing, it can stay in the water for a while.

"And this." Xiao Mao turned out a large stack of swimming rings from a box, before their team came, Lu Fangding didn't know if there was water in Ta'er Lake at that time, considering the need for water operations, there might be a boat. It is definitely unrealistic to bring a small boat over, Lu Fangding has prepared a lot of swimming rings, tied together, it is a simple raft.

When I saw these things, I suddenly felt a little sad that I couldn't put into words. I don't know what's wrong, but I've been feeling sentimental all this time. When I looked at these things, I remembered that when Lu Fangding retreated, I must have thought that one day he would come again.

But the things are still there, and Lu Fangding may not come again for the rest of his life.

I put the things in order, picked out the ones that could be used, and buried the rest. We went to the water's edge and had a look. In fact, we are still in the interior of the lake, but the water level of Taer Lake may never reach the same level as before. The water is concentrated in a few low-lying places in the lake, and the area in front of us is where Lu Fangding and his team stop, which shows that this water area has the value of exploration.

The surface of the water is about a few thousand square meters, and the deepest part may be more than ten meters. The lake is volatile, there is one year, and it may be gone next year, so there is not a single fish in the lake.

However, the water of Ta'er Lake is not clear, and it is estimated that some kind of algae grows in it, and the whole surface of the water looks slightly reddish.

With the transparency of this lake, you can't see how deep it is when you stand at the water's edge, so you have to go down yourself.

In order to prevent any more accidents, Xiao Mao and I have been working together for a long time. I didn't set up a tent at night, so I let Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten sleep in the car. All operations are carried out during the day and are called off in the evening. There are enough supplies here for a long stay.

When I was talking to Xiao Mao, I was always thinking about a question. Five years ago, Lu Fangding was still running, with the team, and so many things, and rushed here all the way, but because of an episode, he returned the same way the next day. What does this mean?

There is only one explanation, Lu Fangding may feel that he can't handle Ta'er Lake, and there is no other way except to leave temporarily. Xiao Mao said that Lu Fangding actually cherishes manpower very much, and he takes the safety of those guys in the team more seriously.

"Xiaomao, you've been here once, based on your experience, can you tell? What's down there? ”

"At that time, I always thought that there was an ancient tomb at the bottom of Ta'er Lake, because figurines and other things had no other use except for burial." Xiao Mao took a puff of his cigarette and said, "But after thinking about it, I think it's unlikely." ”

There has never been a large area and fixed human gathering area around Ta'er Lake, and the tombs that accompany the burial with figurines are, to a certain extent, have certain specifications, that is, the identity of the tomb owner has obtained the corresponding level, so that he is qualified and has the strength to burn figurines to accompany the burial. In a barren place like Ta'er Lake, where the ecosystem is unstable and uninhabited, it is impossible to form villages, towns, cities and countries. Therefore, Taal Lake does not have the conditions to become a cemetery.

After Xiao Mao denied his own point of view, he thought about it for a long time. He concluded that there might not be a tomb beneath Ta'er Lake, but it must be an important place.

The First Emperor burned a large number of terracotta warriors and horses, hoping to let these terracotta figurines accompany him underground and continue to become the great Qin Xiongshi who opened up the territory. In the eyes of today's people, this kind of thinking is very nonsense and unreasonable, but people will have different thinking patterns and cognitive categories in different times and different environments.

Therefore, the blood pottery at the bottom of Ta'er Lake is likely to be a more important place to guard. No matter how we look at it, at least that's what the people who left behind the blood pottery at the time thought, they believed that any guardian would die in the passage of time, and only the blood pottery that was immortal for thousands of years could guard this place forever.

The thought of this makes me feel uncomfortable. If a clay figurine is crushed with a living person, will it be a good thing?

"We still have a lot of time, we can slowly explore, one word, steady."

"Well, it has to be steady." I'll admit that I feel more psychologically fragile than I used to be, and it can be very, very uncomfortable to see my companion hurt or die.

It's already more than ten o'clock in the night, and the quiet Ta'er Lake, which is not stormy, is surprisingly quiet. Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten stayed in the car, and Xiaomao and I leaned against the car, and one of us put a blanket on it, planning to survive the night like this.

"You sleep, I'm used to staying up late, and I can't sleep too early." Xiao Mao wrapped himself in a blanket and said, "Keep up your strength, you still have something to do tomorrow." ”

I was really tired, both physically and mentally. Covered with a blanket, I fell asleep after a while.

I didn't sleep deeply, I was dazed, and I could hear Xiaomao lighting a cigarette with a lighter in the middle.

Click......

Just as I was half asleep, I suddenly heard the sound of the car door being opened. Xiao Mao next to him was leaning against the car door, but the car door was pushed open violently, and he was directly knocked on his head.

I woke up all of a sudden, and when I turned my head, I saw Zhang Momo jump out of the car and run away quickly.

Not only did Zhang Momo run away, but Ning Kitten also jumped out from the other side and ran wildly in the opposite direction. Xiao Mao and I didn't know what was going on, but the two of them ran out left and right, and we couldn't leave it alone.

The two of us glanced at each other, and each of us chased after each other, Xiaomao went to chase Zhang Momo, and I went to chase Ning Xiaomei.

It happened very suddenly, but Xiao Mao and I reacted relatively quickly, just a few steps later than the two of them. I chased Ning Kitten out for dozens of meters, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong.

Ning kitten ran very fast, that kind of speed, as if to stimulate all the potential of a person's whole body, so fast that people felt surprised, I ran wildly, but I couldn't catch up with her.
